The republicans filibustered the bill. So there wasn't 60 votes to advance the legislation.
The republicans succeeded in killing the legislation just like they do with all good legislation our nation needs so badly.
Most Americans know why the republicans don't want an investigation into their attack on our capitol last January.
This won't stop the investigations. All it does is prevent a bipartisan investigation.
Now, the democrats can and probably will set up their own investigations without republicans stopping it.
Bad choice. At least with the commission it was bipartisan. Now, republicans will have little if any say in the investigations.
Why is a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Riot "
good legislation that our nation needs so badly"? Have the pertinent
law enforcement agencies STOPPED investigating it or something? If not, why do the Congress Critters need to waste their time & OUR MONEY investigating it? Don't they have better things to do?
Let law enforcement do its job and refrain from politicizing this mess, we don't need another "Congressional Commission" aka GRANDSTANDING EXERCISE.
First of saying you don't want to politicize an instance where the former US president didn't want to accept election results to the point that he asked his supporters to stop the certification of that election is kind of disingenuous. This is NOT just a law enforcement issue. This is an inherently political issue too.
The political question is way more important IMO. How do you have a representative Democracy when one party of a binary election can simply say, "I lost legally so I feel within my rights to use extralegal means to remain in power?"
Even if it wouldn't be something that is strictly illegal, investigating the question and be forced to reckon with the answer is probably one of the most important things you can do.
The whole problem is I suspect, that having to reckon with that answer is something the GOP doesn't want to do because it would force them to take a position instead of straddling the fence in order to keep their caucus together.
It's certainly safe to say that the future of American freedom and democracy is still at grave danger -- until the Republicans finally acknowledge what Trump did, openly distance themselves from him and condemn him.
Until this happens, there is still the risk of an anti-constitutional, anti-freedom and democracy party winning the next election and turning America into a dictatorship, so that 200 years of freedom and constitutional rule will appear like a historical exception.
America will then become just one more of these American banana republics where the military or some right-wing insurgents putsch themselves to power and establish a half-assed nationalistic dictatorship.
Christians know that there is a clear rule: There can be no forgiveness without remorse. Likewise, the Republicans cannot be forgiven what they attempted to do on January 6th, unless they stop sinning against freedom and democracy and put Trump on trial.

Mueller is looking out for the people and has their best interests in mind,,he is a patriot,he'll have an independent investigation into it, not one controlled by government entitys and do a great exhaustive investigation into it and solve the case who really fired the fatal head shot.
